If you had a chance to ask God one question what would it be? Students have had the opportunity to put their question in a box on campus. Dr Flannagan will attempt to answer those questions and take questions from the floor.
Dr Flannagan currently Lectures part-time for Bethlehem Tertiary Institute and teaches online for Laidlaw College. He holds a Masters degree in Philosophy from the University of Waikato and a PhD in Theology from the University of Otago. His research interests are Ethics, Apologetics, Worldviews and Philosophical Theology.
Who are Unitec Salt and Light?
Salt and Light are affiliated with Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship. They are a student fellowship group who come from a range of nationalities and church backgrounds based at the Unitec Mt Albert campus.
Who is Welcome?
It’s open to anyone interested; you don’t have to be a student, you don’t have to be a Christian.

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
Sounds really good, if somewhat blasphemous.
I will try to make it.
Matt is very clear that he is not God!
Is that the campus on Carrington Rd?
I might check it out.
Yes it is. I study there and I definately intend to make it today too.
